Presentation

It results from an overgrowth of organisms (typically yeast or fungi) which are normally present on the skin of the glans. These yeast are present in both circumcised and uncircumcised men.[cliniquelactuel.com]

Recurrent balanitis Because Candida and other organisms are normally present under the foreskin, it is possible for men to experience further episodes of balanitis.[sahealth.sa.gov.au]

Etiology

Conclusion The authors discuss the unusual site of the disease and the singular clinical features related to the fungal etiology and put forward considerations on the pathogenic role of common microorganisms.[onlinelibrary.wiley.com]

Etiology of foot intertrigo in the District of Afyonkarahisar, Turkey: a bacteriologic and mycologic study.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Epidemiology The key factor in essentially every case of cutaneous candidiasis is prolonged exposure of normally dry skin to moisture. With few exceptions (see the next paragraph), this disease can really only begin in warm and moist areas.[drfungus.org]

Pathophysiology

Pathophysiology Numerous types of fungi live on and in our bodies without causing harm; they are held in check by competing bacteria and our immune system. Disease-causing fungi can be divided into two groups: filamentous fungi and yeasts.[wildmedcenter.com]
